Reassembly:
(a) Refit the agitator, ensuring that it is
pushed as far down as it can go.
(b) Insert the bolt into the shaft. Hand tighten
until the first click has been felt, then using
the open-ended or adjustable spanner,
tighten a further 4 more clicks. Over
tightening will cause excessive damage to
the castellations on the agitator, and may
cause the head of the bolt to shear off.
Failure to tighten the bolt correctly will
cause the agitator to lift off the spline on
the shaft during wash.
(c) Fit the cap to the top of the bolt. Using your hand, hit firmly on top of the cap until the clips
on the cap engage to the bolt.
17.11 Removal of Pump Hood & Cap (Impeller & Flapper
Inspection)
(a) Follow procedures for removal of neck
ring (refer to Section 17.9).
(b) Follow procedures for removal of low
profile agitator (refer to Section 17.10).
(c) Remove the inner bowl by lifting the inner
bowl upwards and clear of machine.
Note: If the inner bowl is tight on the shaft,
pressure may need to be placed on the top
of the shaft, while at the same time jiggling
the inner bowl upwards.
(d) Remove the two bolts securing pump cap
to the outer bowl.
Note: It is important that the screw bosses are kept free of grit. If the bosses have any grit,
this can reduce the travel of the screw, which will lead to a poor fit of the cap, which in turn
will cause bypassing (refer to Section 8.5.1). Bypassing can cause water on the floor,
especially if the water dribbles from the recric nozzle on to a spinning bowl.
Grit in the bosses introduces stress in the plastic when the screw is fitted, which can lead
to the cracking of the boss, which may in turn cause leaking.
(e) The impeller and flapper area of the pump
can now be inspected.
Reassembly:
Refit in reverse manner.
Note: There are features on the hood and cap
that make it difficult to fit in the incorrect
position. Ensure the orientation of these parts
is correct before fitting.
